Mr Vemulapalli is an excellent consultant in his field ,he is kind,understanding,and listens to your concerns,he treats you with respect ,and has an excellent bedside manner.Hospital visits would be great,if all consultants followed in his footsteps.There is nothing more, in anyway,that he can improve on.

Over the past two years Mr Vemulapalli has performed three complicated, extensive operations on my right foot. Throughout this time he has treated me with respect, kindness and compassion. I have observed his manner when teaching his team and when looking after patients on the ward, I felt safe knowing he treated both his staff and all patient with respect and kindness.
He has taken the time to answer all of my many questions and provided accurate information regarding recovery times and what to expect post-operatively.
I truly do not believe that my treatment could have been improved or that Mr Vemulapalli and his team at Queens Hospital could have given me greater care.

I saw this Doctor at an NHS Fracture Clinic. I had been given a cast on my leg the week before which I felt was uncomfortable, probably broken and just aggravating me. The doctor immediately put me at ease by saying “don’t worry, I treat patients not X-rays, so let’s have a look at you and I’ll tell you what I think”. He asked me a number of questions which made me feel that he took the time to understand my life, what I do of a daily basis and how his treatment plan would affect me. He conducted a very gentle physical exam of my ankles and asked me to complete a number of exercises. I had an expectation of what my ideal outcome of the appointment would be, and thankfully, the doctor gave me the news I wanted. “you have healed remarkably well and I will sign you off without a cast”. I expect he knew that’s what I wanted to hear. He gave me advice on how to help the healing process and referred me to Physiotherapy. He finished the appointment by showing me my x-ray, pointing out where the fracture is and telling me a little about how the fracture happened, and why he has come to the decision he has.
The Doctor worked quickly, but gave me the impression throughout the appointment that he was completely in control and knew what he was looking for. He was very friendly and engaged with both me and my partner, who was in the room.
It’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to provide feedback for this doctor, and I am happy to tell his future patients that I think you’re in safe hands.
